The present investigation delved into the effectiveness of using visual and audio, visual aids for both teaching food processing and improving the academic performance of Grade 9 Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) students who would be part of the 20252026 strategic planning of a secondary school in Cavite. Teachers and students became respondents through total enumeration. A researcher, constructed tool was used to gather information on how often, how diverse, how good, how engaging, how available, and how accessible visual and audio, visual materials are. Data were analyzed and interpreted with statistical tools.
The results showed that the teachers extensively used visual and audio, visual materials in all the dimensions measured. However, a discrepancy was found between the teachers' and students' views, particularly in terms of frequency, diversity, quality, engagement, and accessibility. The learning outcomes of the students were further improved significantly as indicated by the results. A considerable escalation was noted in the pretest and posttest scores when multimedia materials were integrated into food processing instructions. In addition, posttest scores revealed a very strong positive correlation between the use of visual and audio, visual resources and students' achievement in food preparation tasks.
Hence, it is advised that teachers and school administrators work hand in hand in making sure that there are always diverse multimedia resources that students can easily use so that their engagement will be high and their academic performance will be consistently improved.
